Binance, one of the world’s most popular crypto exchange platforms, has solidified its regulatory position in El Salvador, marking the Central American nation as the 18th country where Binance has received a digital asset license.

#Binance is now El Salvador’s first fully licensed crypto exchange! 🇸🇻

With this, Binance has approvals and registrations in 18 markets worldwide, more than any other crypto exchange, including France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Dubai.https://t.co/BITj9zxdcZ

— Binance (@binance) August 8, 2023

The Central Reserve Bank awarded Binance with the Bitcoin Services Provider license (BSP), while the National Commission of Digital Assets has approved Binance for the first non-provisional Digital Assets Services Provider license (DASP). The successful registration of these two licenses means that Binance can operate fully and legally in a very pro-crypto country.

Binance has been facing regulatory scrutiny this year over licensing issues in many markets such as several EU countries, Australia and Canada, not to mention its lawsuit against the United States CFTC and SEC.

The approval of these licenses in El Salvador marks a special approval in the crypto space, as El Salvador and its president, Nayib Bukele, have been extremely bullish about Bitcoin. Not only did the country become the first nation in the world to establish BTC as its national currency in 2021, but many legal frameworks have been passed to include Bitcoin Bonds, or Volcano Bonds, meant to help El Salvador build its very own Bitcoin city for:

“‘Innovation and financial freedom’ in El Salvador. ‘Since a Bitcoin bond has never been issued, a series of regulations must be issued.’”

Min Lin, Binance’s head of Latin America, shed light on the extensive diligence process the firm underwent to secure these licenses. “This announcement comes after many months of dedication from our team to provide all information and proceed with the necessary due diligence required by the agencies, showcasing our commitment to the Salvadoran market and our users,” commented Lin.

Further speaking on the significance, Daniel Acosta, Binance’s general manager for the regions of Colombia, Central America and the Caribbean, mentioned that these licenses offer a new spectrum of possibilities, especially in El Salvador and beyond:

“It is also a great opportunity to collaborate closely with government authorities to support the adoption of crypto assets in the country, foster financial inclusion, innovation and ensure customer protection.”

Adding to the exchange’s recent success amid some issues, Binance launched its Japanese exchange on August 1. Exclusively for Japanese residents, Binance Japan offers up to 34 tokens for spot trading and “automate crypto investments over set intervals with a predetermined amount.”

Binance’s European exodus continues as exchange withdraws critical license application in Germany

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Binance confirmed to CryptoSlate that it had withdrawn its crypto custody license application in Germany, according to a July 26 emailed statement.

In June, unconfirmed reports emerged that BaFin, Germany’s top financial regulator, intended to deny Binance’s application for a crypto custody license. At the time, a representative from the exchange told CryptoSlate that it was in contact with regulators from the country.

Less than a month later, the exchange withdrew its license application because “the situation, both in the global market and regulation, has changed significantly.”

The exchange’s spokesperson told CryptoSlate that the firm intends to reapply for the appropriate licensing, adding that the new application would adequately reflect the changes in the market.

“Binance still intends to apply for appropriate licensing in Germany, but it is essential that our submission accurately reflects these changes.”

Binance did not provide further information about when it plans to reapply for the licensing.

Binance EU regulatory woes

The withdrawal from Germany marks another setback for the exchange’s effort to gain a foothold in Europe, where it has withdrawn from the Netherlands, Austria, Cyprus, and the U.K. in the past month over its failure to get regulatory approval.

A spokesperson for the firm previously told CryptoSlate that the exchange is focused on complying with the forthcoming Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations to offer its services in Europe.

Ilir Laro, the sub-regional manager for growth in the U.K. and Europe, said the firm has five regulated entities within the region, including France, Italy, Spain, Poland, and Sweden.

It should be noted that the firm is currently being investigated in France for “aggravated money laundering” and illegally providing services to French users between 2020 and 2022.

Meanwhile, Binance is also facing regulatory struggles in the U.S. Two leading financial watchdogs, the CFTC and SEC, are suing Binance, its principal subsidiaries, and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao. The former is suing over alleged violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, among other CFTC regulations, while the latter is bringing charges of several securities law violations.

Finance Forward, a information outlet, documented that Germany’s money authority has picked not to grant Binance a custody license for cryptocurrencies, citing resources familiar with the predicament.

The supply did not make clear no matter if the refusal was an official conclusion produced by the German Federal Monetary Supervisory Authority (BaFin) or if it was conveyed during ongoing conversations.

A spokesperson for Binance said that even though they could not disclose specific information of their interactions with authorities, they are making an attempt to comply with the disorders set by BaFin. As expected, this course of action is sophisticated and ongoing. 

BaFin has declined to comment on distinct companies thanks to the demanding specifications for protecting professional confidentiality in Germany. In accordance to a report printed by Finance Ahead on June 26, Binance has withdrawn its application for regulatory permission in Austria.

The organization has also terminated its registration with the securities fee in Cyprus and made a decision to exit the Netherlands next an unsuccessful registration try. Concurrently, Binance has had to suspend functions in Belgium though going through allegations from the U.S. securities authority for operating an unlicensed investing system.

In preparing for applying a new crypto legislation by the European Union, Binance has declared its intention to simplify its European system. This legislation will empower crypto enterprises to run within just a one marketplace as long as they attain regulatory clearance in one of the member nations.

Binance's Request to Modify SEC's Language Denied by Judge

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Binance’s attempt to change the way the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) portrays Binance.US of handling of customer funds in a June 17 press releases was denied by a federal judge, a move the company feared could negatively influence its court proceedings.

BAM Trading, operating as Binance.US, had expressed concerns over what they deemed as the SEC’s “misleading extrajudicial statements” in a complaint filed on June 23. Binance has to respond to the SEC’s allegations by September 21, and the SEC has until November 7 to respond to Binance’s claims:

“The SEC’s press release is disappointing given the SEC’s prior concessions before this Court about its lack of evidence on this issue and the fact that Defendants worked in good faith before and after the Complaint was filed to address the SEC’s unsubstantiated concerns about BAM customer assets.”

The legal team representing Binance argued that the SEC’s press release seemed to be aimed at causing unnecessary market turmoil, a move that might impact BAM clients adversely instead of protecting them.

Excerpt from the SEC’s press release

Judge Amy Berman Jackson, the judge overseeing the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance.US, dismissed these claims. She stated that the court’s duty does not extend to editing the public statements of either party involved in the case:

“It is not apparent that Court intervention to reiterate that point is needed at this time, or that it is necessary or appropriate for the Court to get involved in wordsmithing the parties’ press releases. Nor is it clear that the agency’s public relations efforts to date will materially affect proceedings in this case.”

The lawyers noted that the SEC’s portrayal also ran the risk of “misleading” the jury with skewed interpretations of the evidence against the defendants. They firmly insisted that there is “no evidence of misuse, co-mingling, or dissipation of BAM customer assets.”

BAM Trading, operating as Binance.US, had expressed concerns over what they deemed as the SEC’s “misleading extrajudicial statements” in a complaint filed on June 23. Binance has to respond to the SEC’s allegations by September 21, and the SEC has until November 7 to respond to Binance’s claims.

This filing is a part of Binance’s preparation of a lawsuit against the SEC. On June 5, the SEC sued Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao, alleging a violation of federal securities laws.
